  • Inn Details

    Lark and Michael McCarley, Innkeepers, welcome you to Lovelace Manor Bed and Breakfast. Located in Lancaster, the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, we are just minutes away from numerous historic sites, Amish farmlands, outlet shopping and abundant antiquing. Built in 1882, our home has been described by the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County as one of the more elegant examples of the Second Empire style domestic architecture in the region. From the ornate porches with brackets and pendants, to the interior elements of 11-foot ceilings and etched glass doors, visitors have an opportunity to step back in time. As our guest, you are invited to enjoy complimentary refreshments in the Victorian parlor or on one of the porches. Or if you prefer, a relaxing game of billiards awaits you in the game room. We also provide a collection of books and videos for your enjoyment. And for the business traveler, we provide wireless internet access, telephones and a fax machine for your convenience. Each morning you will be treated to a hearty breakfast including fresh fruit juices, baked goods and hot entrees served in the dining room. We will be glad to accommodate any special dietary restrictions.

    We normally stay at B & Bs and we found the Lovelace Manor to be one of the our top B & B experiences. The inn keepers are welcoming and helpful and they assisted us in planning our visit in the area. The guest rooms are lovely, gourmet breakfast each morning, elegant but comfortable common rooms - Lovelace Manor is truly a jewel.

    We broke our 14 hour drive from Raleigh to Lake George, NY in half with a one night stay at Lovelace. We haven't done B&B's for almost 2 decades. When we knocked on the door, I thought, what did I get us into. It felt like we were intruding on their living space, and would be stuck in our room. But, after a warm welcome, they gave us the tour. They live on the third floor, guest bedrooms are on the second floor, and the first floor living and dining areas are for the guests. Snacks and drinks are available 24/7 in the butler's pantry area. Very nice setup. Enjoyed a great conversation with Michael. Found we had both lived in several SoCal areas (Temecula, Vista, Escondido, Rancho Bernardo). Breakfast was wonderful (eggs benedict, fruit, pastry), and a no-meat version for me. Met some great people (other guests) as well. Will do more B&B's in the future, and hope to visit Lovelace again.

    Upon arrival at this gorgeous Victorian B&B we were met by both Lark and Michael McCarley owners of Lovelace Manor. The beauty of this home was only topped by Lark's Southern Charm. We were most fortunate in that we had the opportunity to visit with Lark and Michael and to learn about the history of both the house and the Lovelace family. Lark and Michael were most generous of their time and knowledgeable of the area as we sat in the most lovely of Parlours planning our next day's trip to Gettysburg. The charm of our room and the house in general was equally matched by Michael's Eggs Benedict breakfast the next morning. This unforgetable experience has ensured a return visit to Lovelace Manor

    Perfect Anniversary Trip!

    I researched like crazy trying to find the perfect place for my husband and I to stay in the Lancaster area for our anniversary trip and Lovelace Manor Bed and Breakfast completely lived up to my high expectations. The minute we arrived Lark was so sweet and so welcoming and gave us a tour of the house. All the rooms were absolutely gorgeous and we felt at home right away. We booked the Rose Suite which was absolutely fabulous! When Lark brought us to our room she surprised us with putting rose petals on the bed in the shape of a heart and a bottle of sparkling cider with chocolates. The room also had a huge king size bed, separate sitting room, a gorgeous bathroom with claw foot tub, 2 TV's and 2 fireplaces. It was definitely fabulous and perfect for us! All the rooms of the house were decorated so beautifully you could really tell the love they have for their home. Lark and Michael were so helpful with recommendations for places to eat, things to do, etc. Now lets get to the yumminess of breakfast! It was truly out of this world and such a treat. Every morning was something different and presented with such class. She would set the table with pretty linens and fine china. You would have your choice of multiple juices (pineapple passion fruit was amazing), fresh brewed coffee, then start with fruit and move onto the main breakfast entree. Each breakfast was better then the next! It kept us full for hours! Then you have access to the pantry all day where you can have coffee, tea, water, soda, etc. She also made the most delicious chocolate chip cookies that she kept in the pantry every day. Then one evening Lark arranged for us to have massages in our suite, and the massage therapist Steve was fantastic! He brought his table, blankets, sheets, spa music, etc. It was a real treat. So I would completely recommend Lovelace Manor to anyone looking to get away for a fabulous trip. Thank you again Lark and Michael for such an amazing stay!

    Our visit exceeded our expectations. Accomodations were much more comfortable than staying in a hotel. The bed was most comfortable and the food was outstanding in taste and presentation. They also went out of their way to pick up my camera after I left it at a museum and mailed it to me. They were gracious hosts and helpful in every way. Their dinner recommendation was outstanding. Our Lancaster stay was enhanced by staying at Lovelace Manor.
